Well done to the previous collector who put together all those mostly uncirculated coins

My dad used to work on the gas board emptying meters. In the 1970s he used to come home every evening with a huge bad of shillings and florins then sort through them fishing out all the pre 1947s and swapping them for newer coins. We still have a whole stack of them. With the amount of silver they contain they should be work a few quid now.

In my Whitman albums where the year is blank, my late Father, who passed in 1998 had written the years, so that is precious to me.

[@redschafer7804]

the king George coins look good given their age i wonder if this was a kids collection as the dates and condition are all over the place

[@McIntosh_Coin_Collector]

Definitely worth a fiver that bag is

[@Jonnythebaker]

The sweat on your fingers will damage the surface finish if you do not wear gloves.

[@meteoman7958]

That was £5 well spent. An enviable collection. My BU shilling collection ends in 1946.

[@peterperigoe9231]

You did well there Paul, on the 1919 shilling they also omitted K.G. initials, do you know why? I noticed the Queen's head on the obverse was not as strongly struck as the reverse striking's, this was also a problem on the South Africa union £. s. d. series I wonder who made the obverse dies for both mints?

[@Llanchlo]

Even the staples were better in the good old days !

[@blisteringbarnaclesmagnets6364]

Very nice 👍⚓️🧲

[@andrewfreeborn]

So satisfying to see a complete set like that! Thanks for sharing your experience, Paul!

[@ianbennett1491]

They have been in a wardrobe in that bag for the last 40 years .Great find.

[@davidsirett5560]

a wonderful set of coins there Paul.

[@johncamp8520]

What a fantastic little collection. I know you said the George VI coins were not in as good condition as the QEII coins but they were still in pretty good nick as far as I could see.

[@garrycowan4394]

I'm aging myself but I remember using a sixpence in the late 70s at the school tuckshop

[@darrencheshire8546]

What a fabulous find, amazing price, and a complete set! What are the odds ??? 😮. Great upload thanks CP

[@kevinpresley3136]

A really nice set of shillings.I wish that I could find your coins in that condition here in the 🇺🇲. Thanks for posting the video.

[@SandmanCnC75]

My view of gloves, if they're uncirculated, maybe, but noone was wearing gloves when they were in circulation.

[@vossierebel]

Thanks... I enjoyed that! This video will make me pay better attention to this series of coins when I find an example while metal detecting!

[@pyontasansan]

Amazing that you can buy an uncirculated bag of coins like that from a charity shop. I'm watching from the states and over here I am guessing this would be similar to a thrift shop or goodwill store. I have just started getting into pre-decimal currency so I appreciated the explanation re: the difference between the English and Scottish Shillings. Great video!
